For this game, her opponents were Danny Jacobs, a journalist from from Laurel, Maryland; and Emily Goodlander, an attorney from Baltimore, Maryland.

During the portion of the show when host Alex Trebek talks with the players on a more personal level, he asked McNitt about the necklace she was wearing, and McNitt said that the piece had belonged to her mother, who passed away recently.

"Our family's trying to keep her legacy alive by encouraging people to donate blood and join the bone marrow registry," McNitt said.

As with McNitt's first appearance on the show on Tuesday, she had a healthy lead over her competitors after both Jeopardy rounds. At the end of the first round, she'd earned $8,600, while Danny had $2,800 and Emily had $2,000; and at the end of the second round, heading into Final Jeopardy, McNitt had earned $16,600, while Danny had $13,900 and Emily had $7,000.

The Final Jeopardy category was 16th Century People, and the clue was, "This non-Brit said in 1532, 'I advised (Henry VIII) that it would be better for him to take a concubine than to ruin his people.'"

None of Wednesday's contestants came up with the right answer – they all guessed Popes, when the answer was Martin Luther – so it came down to betting strategy: Emily finished with just $88, Danny ended with $2,900, while Sarah, who only bet $4,000, won with $12,600, giving her a two day total of $28,400.

Will McNitt's streak continue? Tune in to the next episode of "Jeopardy!" to find out. (NOTE: Channel 4, which normally airs "Jeopardy!" at 7:30 p.m. on weeknights, will be showing Governor Snyder's State of the State address from 7-8 p.m. on Thursday, so the next "Jeopardy!" episode will likely air at a different time. Stay tuned for updates.)
